slower. Higher.
BlAiNE AND SHERMAN.

1t is fairly evident by this time that
here is Il fierce factiOnal struggle going
IN in the Republican party with regard
% the next presidential nomination,
The lines OF the fight are 50 distinctly
drawn that one cannot fail to see the
issues involved, nor To distinguish the
candidates. There are two strong COM
JiuationS. and each is conducting its
light on 4 separate idea. Mr.. BLAINE is
:he candidate of one faction and Sena-r
tor SHERMAN of the other. Each leade
has made his combination, and the fight
is on in earnest. Mr.. BLAINE proposes
tOrenCW the battle on the issues of
1884. He is going To fight over the same
field that he lost, in the expectation of
retrieving his fortunes. A Republican
victory in 1883. without Mr.. BLAINE at
the head of the ticket, and on precisely
the same issues of the last campaign.
would be no vindication for BLAINE. 1t
would he his eternal condemnation, for
it would be direct confession
that he and the issues he
forced into prominence at that time
constituted the cause of Republican de
feat. Mr.. BLAINE's intention to hold
his party to the ground on which it lost
i'll 1884. is apparent in every movement
his fCrCcS are making. Then he had
LOGAN for second. Now that LOGAN
has gone lac has selected TIE man who
more early fills LCGAN'S place than
any ether. That man is Gov. FAIR
CHILD. Of Wisconsin. who is to take the
second place on the ticket with Mr..
BLAINE. Iii addition to being a fair
representative of western Republican,
ism. Gov. FAIECIIILD is favorite with
the soldier element. In this respect he
Is LCGAN'S successor. \ ticket COM
posed Of BLAINE and FAIRCHiLD will
occupy exactly the same relation
in 1883 that the ticket of BLAINE
and LOGAN did in 1884. At
least that is the theory of the
BLAINE managers. Tie SHERMAN
managers recognize the strength of the
BLAINE combination and propose to Off
set it by taking another popular eX-sol-
dier into their combination, and have
accordingly slated Gen. HAwLEY as
their candidate for vice president.
The Two opposing tickets for the Repub-
licm nomination are BLAINE and FAIR
CHILD Oh the one hand and SHERMAN
and HAWLEY on the other. Both are
strong combinations and the fractional
fight is likely to prove bitter one.
The BLAINE and SHERMAN managers
have different theories. however. as to
the correct policy for conducting the
Republican campaign in 1888. Mr..
BLAIN< regards New York as the piv-
otal state. and continues to pin his faith
to his ability to carry that state. Mr..
SHERMAN discards New York as the i'm
portant factor by conceding it to the
Democrats. His policy is to make up
for the loss of New York by gains in the
South. Mr.. SHERMAN is infatuated with
the idea that if he is nominated he will
carry Virginia. West Virginia, North
Carolina. and probably Tennessee and
Alabama.

ALWAYS IMPROVING.

The resident of st. Paul whose occu-
PATTON keeps him pretty continually
within the city can hardly appreciate
the constant progress and marked i'm
proVement which it is making. Every
time l come back to st. Paul. and the
intervals are not greater than three
months, remarked a gentleman yester-
day. Il am astOnished at the growth of
the city. st. Paul people do not nearly
appreciate the extent to which their city
is improving. 1t is one of the wonders
Of the West" And nearly every visitor
to the city has the same story to tell.
1t is quite likely that familiarity with
she continued growth of the city and
she factors that produce it causes resi-
dents OF st. Paul to be less appreciative
IMAM strangers of the rapidity with which
Inc Northwest's metropolis is extending
It's limits and increasing the number of
ltS business houses and residences. but
the reason for such satisfactory state
OF things is not far to seek. st. Paul is
yet III the early stage of development,
and her growth is merely a natural effort
10 Keep up with the demand made upon
ner by the immense stretch of country
tributary to her.
AS the great Northwest fills up with
people whose needs must be met. the
city which is their great supply depot is
pound to progress. As retrogression is
impossible with a country to which hun
uredS of settlers are daily turning, just
so is anything but continued growth i'm
possible with city upon which the out
lying country is dependent. The i'm
provement of st. Paul and Minneapolis
even within the short space of three
months is astonishing because the
growth of the Northwest is astonishing.
One is the natural complement of the
other.
And the chances are all in favor of
the progress in the future being even
more marked. Northwestern people are
not the kind to let the grass grow under
their feet.

EASTERN MONEY.
1t is Reing Heavily Invested in
Western Farm Mortgages.


Special TO the Globe.
CONCORD, n. H., May 17.-There is
good reason to believe that the desire
for investment in Western farm mort
gage loans on the part of many persons
III this state will soon become a mania.
and that millions from New Hampshire
will follow the many millions which she
has already invested in the West. Your
reporter has personally interviewed the
treaSurerS, and received information
from the officials of savings banks with
aggregated deposits of over $1,000, 900,
and III every instance the withdrawal of
deposits since the beginning of the pres
ent year have been larger than during
corresponding months for a long tinlp!
The treasurerS of all the savings banks
in Concord say that the Withdrawals
are larger than usual, and also that all of
these banks are stronger than at any
previous time in their history. The New
Hampshire, of this city, with deposits, Of
S2,S60,000, has guarantee fund iof
100000, and has just completed block
at an expense of $4,000, which outlay
was charged to current expenses. The
Merrlmac county bank, with deposits of
S960,000, has guaranty of $4,000, while
the Loan and Trust bank, also of Con-
cord, with deposits of S1,S65, 200, has a
guaranty of $4,000, These facts are
given to show that the high standing of
these banks would naturally influence
depoSit0rs to allow their money to re-
main. But the work of the agents of
western Mortgage companies has tod,
and shows that the movement NAV not
yet be at its height -" ~

yesterday, and gives graphic descrip-
ton of the tragedy. Il. +. McNair in
CURED the hatred of the community be-
cause of the killing of man named
Hardy. He was tried for the offenSe

it to be a case of murder, they freely
denounced McNair'S acQuittal and he
was the recipient of frequent notices of
warning, i'll which assassination was
limited at. For some months. however.
there had been a cessation of the notices.
and McNair and his wife began to for

Saturday morning voice as of some
one in trouble aroused the couple. When
McNalr inquired what was the matter
the man outside answered that his buggy
had broken down and that he could not
see to mend it without light. McNair
lit his lamp and started out with it.
when the report of two guns was heard
and the victim fell dead. One of the
men then walked up close to the body
and fired from pistol two shots more.
When Mrs. McNair attempted to Csme
out dozen shots against the front of
the house warned her not to venture

the house they kept up the fusilade,

EXIT SLUGGING MATCHES

F0ndneSS and appreciation of whole
some and legitimate sports should re
ceive the most cordial encouragement:
but there are sports and sports. many of
a character decidedly the reverse of ele-
waiting, and this latter class should be as
vigorously condemned as the other
kind is favored.
Sparring matches, for instance, which
aim to give scientific exhibition of the
beauties of the manly art, which are
entered into by the contestants with
perfect good feeling and in which the
inevitable hard knocks are endured
with good humOr, if not with compla-
cency. these contain nothing that is OBJ
jecti0nable and should readily find
the favor they deserve. But when
sparring exhibition degenerates
into a so-called ''slugging match"
i'll which, according. to ring parlance,
the desire for ''gore" is the chief object
and the two contestants batter each
other to the point of insensibilty
without regarp to the scientific features
OF the art, then the sport ceases to be a
desirable or commendable one. 1t then
fifty passes into the province of the DO
lice department,
The spOrt-loving public of st. Paul
has always been rather fond of sparring
exhibitions but lately it has been treated
to an abnormally large proportion of re-
Voting smuggling matches, pure and sim
pie. in which science was a mere pre-
text. Exhibitions of this kind can do
nothing but harm though legitimate
sparring has every right to flourish.
The chief of police has declared that
prize fighting must cease, and he is right
about it.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, May 17.-Anthony Com

found very severe critic of his doings
in Editor Dana, of the Sun. Now he
thinks he has a chance to get square.

New Jersey. 1t contained pretty vivid
account of the lustful conduct of the
murderer and victim before the crime.

all in his power to indict ''Dana or any
other Internal scOundrel. who was re-
sponSible for the publications"

COME WEST.

MIR. WATTERsoN continues to make
mouths at the president. Referring to
the appointment of an Eastern man to
fill the vacant treaSuryship the Courier
Journal says: ''The administration
seems incapable of any fiscal policy not
taken from the East, and is wholly UNI
conscious of the existence of an empire
this side of the Alfeghanies. Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND needs to travel little in his own
country and to see with his own eyes.
He will find that the buffalo, albeit
likely beast, does not browse on the out
skirts of Chicago, nor the noble red man
conduct all of the cigar stands in St.
Paul. The truth is he should come West
a lick OF two" Barring the unnecessary
severity of his criticism we agree with
Mr.. WATTERsoN. The president should
come West. He is giving the country
an admirable administration, but it
would be still more admirably if he had
a person al knowledge of the immensely
of this great nation. His lack of knowl-
edge of the magnitude of Western in
tereStS has been an evident drawback to

STRAY SUNBEANS.

Mrs. LANGTRY has had her hair cut

how pretty a woman may be she is sure
to do something to deform herself just

Il never realized before that there
were so many trees in st. Paul. was
the remark of gentleman as he looked
out over the city from the GLOBE tower
yesterday. In fact there are great
many beauties of our lovely city which
have not been observed until there was
an opportunity to see them from the
new GLOBE building. And yet the
sight OF One-stOry shanties right in the
heart of the business district takes the
poetry out of the whole view.

An Ohio editor has recently discOy-
cred that JOHN SHERMAN was soldier
in the late war. He was commissioned
colonel by Gov. DENNIsoN and was
granted authority to raise brigade.
When Col. SHERMAN went down to
Washington to talk the matter over with
the president he was persuaded that he
could be more useful to the country in
the halls of congress than in the tented
field. 1t didn't take much of an argll-
ment to convince SHERMAN of this fact,
so he threw up his commission and
went back to congress.
~
1t will come out later that Mr.. BEANIE
was soldier once. 1t is already known
that Mr.. BLAINE was represented in the
late war by as gallant substitute as
ever fired gun. But the fact that he
once held a military commission has
never been given to the public. 1t was
before the war. When he was teaching
school down in Kentucky he held a
commission as first lieutenant in the
hClIluChy Hlllllld. framing Gay was
always a proud event in the young
lieutenant's life. Brass buttons and
gold lace had good deal to do with
giving him that knightly bearing for
which he is noted. When Lieut.. BLAINE
and Col. SHERMAN stand arrayed against
each other in battle, there will be
subject fit for Meissonier's brush.

The New York Mugwumps are not
